Publication Board Set bv Committee by DIANE CCNRATH A student publication board will be set up to judge the qualifications of students who ask to fill editorial positions on The DePaulia and the yearbook, DePaulian. The decision to draw up the board was made at the first official meeting of the DePaul Student Affairs Policy Committee composed of representative students, faculty, and administrators. The function of the board will be to appoint and recall, if necessary, editors in chief, associate editors and managing editors for both publications. The board will consist of two students appointed by the Student Activity Council, two faculty members named, by the faculty advisory board, the.publications' moderator, and an administrative official. The board will be in operation this year, according to Eliot Eisenberg, a member of the Policy Committee. "A student seeking an editorial post will present himself to the board, present his credentials and experience for the board to evaluate. Outgoing editors may still recommend people however they will not be allowed to sit on the board," Eisenberg said* Michael Walters, present editor-in-chief and managing editor of The DePaulia, said he thought the idea of a publications board was basically sound, but the organization of this board was not well planned„ "The idea of soliciting professional journalists in the Chicago area to serve on the board would be a worthwhile idea," Walters said. "I personally think the board would be able to make a better decision if it 'Success,' Faculty Says by LARRY LINK The Aletheia's raid on Schmitt Academic Center three weeks ago has apparently succeeded in making Lincoln Park campus faculty members aware of the lack of adequate security measures on weekends.

Patrick O'Brien of the Theology Department said that were made up of representatives from The DePaulia, The Aletheia, and one non-partisan member. People who have a vested interest in publications would be the best people to select editors, not someone who might be interested only at one point in the year." Mary Jeanne Klasen, editor of The Aletheia, said the Committee was too vague in setting up the board. "They didn't consult anyone in publications before setting the board up. There are no criteria for selecting members of the board or criteria established for the editors. There is no guarantee that this system will be less arbitrary than the previous system." The Student Affairs Policy Committee itself will be concerned in the future with the presence of drugs on campus and the establishment of an appeals board for grades, Eisenberg said. "This policy committee is a good idea," Eisenberg said. "I am impressed by the frank discussions that occurred and by the value that such a committee can have for the university. I think a great deal is to be gained from just sitting down and talking things over." Dr. John Masterson, another committee member, added that the purpose of the Policy Committee is to formulate policy statements "on current debatable topics which are of interest to students, faculty and administration. It is designed to get at the root of current issues and determine what to do in a certain event before that event happens*" Others present at the meeting were Karen Sims, Harold Meyer, Dr. Edwin Cohen, Dr. Don Jester, Miss Margaret Stacey and Fr.
